88TSI_Rob Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 17" Work Equips w/ Toyo tires http://img458.imageshack.us/img458/9280/p1010002pl8.jpg Offsets are +10 in the front & +20 - 25.6mm adapter/spacer = -5.6 in the rear. That's the only pic I'm posting till the car gets painted, the car looks like a** from just about any other angle right now. They were originally painted white from the Work factory so I stripped them down, masked them off and then applied 4 coats of silver and 2 coats of high temp clear. http://img158.imageshack.us/img158/6278/workequip2bx.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustPaus_88TSi Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 Very nice bro.. Can we have some more info though? What width are they? And if possible, how much do they weigh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88TSI_Rob Posted July 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 Very nice bro.. Can we have some more info though? What width are they? And if possible, how much do they weigh? They are 7"/8" unfortunately, but you can't be too picky when the offsets are that close. Plus, since they are 3 piece wheels I can always have them widened later if I feel the need. I don't have hard numbers on the weights, but the wheels alone were a little lighter that the stock non-shp wheels. Comparing the rim & tire together they are almost exactly the same weight.

MontyTSI Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 man those are nice!!!! in my opinion the only thing that can make them look better on your car is to lower it. oh...and what muffler do you have on there, looks like the stock dual outlet but bigger (thats what i want on the flatty) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88TSI_Rob Posted July 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 Paint work should be done by this time next week, then I'll lower it and take some nicer pictures. Muffler is a stainless Magnaflow, I like the stock look too. http://www.magnaflow.com/02product/shopexd...main&id=630 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the drew Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 1 question is your suspension stock hight or did you have to do anything to get those to fit? cuz i really want a rim change, and ive been looking at either work wheels, or some advans.

88TSI_Rob Posted July 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 In that shot the rears are using the stock strut/spring and the fronts have coilovers installed. Both front and rear struts have the full lower spring perch and I don't have any issues with rubbing. I'm in the process of installing the rear coilovers now.

88TSI_Rob Posted October 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 If you want new wheels just Google "Work wheels' and you should get links to some of Work's US distributors. Expect to pay at least $3K and all of their wheels are custom built and shipped from Japan so it'll be several weeks before you get them. I purchased this set used from RB Motoring and I stripped off the old paint and repainted and cleaned them up myself. They don't have the cheapest prices but they are very reputable and don't sell bent/beat up wheels. They put up pictures of their current inventory (which changes daily) here:http://rbmotoring.dreamhosters.com/gallery/JDM-Used-wheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
